My favorite holiday card this year, from artist/director David Cowles.  (Not only does it pay homage to my favorite Beatles album, but this year my sons have gone Beatles crazy from Rock band. Perfect timing.)

Thanks David! Merry to you too.

PS: Check it: David also designed and directed this commercial –my fave this year– for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.

Regular readers of my blog know how much I enjoy Joey Ahlbum’s work, so his 2008 holiday card was a perfect excuse to share some more of it.

Christmastime for Jews by Robert Smigel. Dedicated to my wife and sons.

Our blog was messed up when I originally posted this cartoon, so it’s out of sync for January, but it might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. At least if you know any Jews; my mixed marriage family found it hilarious.

Created by Robert Smigel for Saturday Night Live, the creative team also includes director David Brooks, writer Julie Klausner (creator of the very funny Cat News), and my high school bandmate, saxophonist Bruce Kapler.

I promise, we’ll re-post it at the appropriate time next year.

I tried to post this cartoon during the holiday because it might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while, but the link had disappeared. So it’s a little late, but it’s just as funny (at least if you know any Jews; my mixed marriage family found it hilarious).
